A spokeswoman for Barack Obama said they are not concerned about security in Greensboro.
Earlier, Dome linked to a Greensboro News-Record piece quoting that city's mayor as saying a Greensboro event was canceled because of security concerns.
But campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that is "not true," reports D.C. bureau correspondent Margaret Talev. She says the campaign simply decided to go to Fayetteville instead.
"The schedule changes all the time," she said. "We're looking forward to going to Greensboro at a later date."
She added, "Barack Obama has the best security in the world and people need to stop worrying about it. People can be assured of his safety."
Update: N&R editorial writer Doug Clark says the Secret Service also says there was "no security concern whatsoever" in Greensboro.
